I'm reviving this post because I have the same problem in 2022. Installing the packs on Windows is painfully slow. I can basically download a 3GB pack in about 10 seconds, and then it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to install. I really think there's a problem. Maybe it's because of the unzip functionnaliyty of windows which is slow as hell. I always use 7zip if I want to unzip something as the windows version is almost unusable.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure my hardware dies not cause this,( everything runs fast on my computer). Also I still haven't upgraded to Live 11. Has this been dealt with ?

Have a good day/night !
Are you using an SSD?

Sorry for the very late reply :-) . I'm not using an SSD for the Live user library, but I still don't understand why installing a 1 GB pack on an HDD drive should take about 15 minutes to get installed : when I instal say l a kontakt library for instance, it only takes the downloading time to get installed, and I install them on the same hard drive as I have my Ableton user Library.
